Abstract

Nanoparticles containing lUPAC group 11 ions, group 13 ions and sulfur ions are synthesized by adding metal salts and an alkanethiol in an organic solvent and promoting the reaction by applying heat. Nanoparticles are formed at temperatures as low as 200 DEG C. The nanoparticles may be thermally annealed for a certain amount of time at a temperature lower than the reaction temperature (usually about 40 DEG C lower) to improve the topology and narrow the size distribution. After the reaction is complete, the nanoparticles may be isolated by the addition of a non-solvent and re-dispersed in organic solvents including toluene, chloroform and hexane to form a nanoparticle ink. Additives may be incorporated in the reaction solution to tailor the final ink viscosity.

Description

For the copper-indium-gallium-chalcogenide nanoparticle precursor of thin-film solar cells
The cross reference of related application: the application is the non-provisional application of the U.S. Provisional Patent Application 61/772,372 that on March 4th, 2013 submits to, and its full content is combined in herein by reference.
Background
1. invention field
The present invention relates to photovoltaic material.More specifically, it relates to CuIn xga 1-xs 2the manufacture of (0≤x≤1) nano particle.
2. comprise the explanation of the correlation technique of information disclosed in 37CFR1.97 and 1.98
In order to viable commercial, photovoltaic cell must generate electricity with the cost of energy and fossil fuel competition.Lower cost materials must be used and manufacture photovoltaic cell by cheap apparatus manufacturing process.Photovoltaic cell must can have the conversion efficiency of moderate paramount sunlight to electricity.And materials synthesis and device fabrication must be all commercial-scale.
Photovoltaic market accounts for leading by silicon wafer system solar cell (being also called first generation solar cell) at present.Active layer in these solar cells is make from the silicon single crystal wafer of the thickness of several microns to hundreds of microns by having typical range, and this thickness is relatively large.Because silicon is relatively weak in absorption light, so need thick active layer.The manufacture of these single-crystal wafers is relatively costly, manufactures because its process comprises and cuts highly purified monocrystalline silicon cast ingot.The output of this process is normally low.
The high cost of crystal silicon wafer has impelled industrial quarters to find the more cheap material for solar cell.Semi-conducting material is curing/copper indium diselenide/gallium CuIn such as xga 1-xs 2(0≤x≤1) (being commonly referred to CIGS in this article) is strong light absorber and has the band gap with the optimal spectrum scope matched well of photovoltaic application.In addition, because these materials have strong absorptivity, the active layer in the solar cell using these materials only needs several micron thickness.
Two copper indium diselenide (CuInSe 2) be one of the most promising material standed for for film photovoltaic application.But, by by CuInS 2film selenizing can manufacture based on CuInSe 2solar cell.During selenizing, by CuInS 2film heats in rich selenium atmosphere, makes seleno to replace in film sulphur in some or all position, creates volumetric expansion because replace when Se replaces S, which reduces the void space in film and repeatedly can form the CuInSe of high-quality, densification 2absorber layer.Suppose to replace S with Se completely, it is about 14.6% (based on chalcopyrite (four directions) CuInS that gained cell volume expands 2lattice parameter and CuInSe 2lattice parameter calculate).Can by under rich selenium atmosphere by film annealing with by CuInS 2film of nanoparticles is converted into main selenide material.CuInS 2nano particle is hopeful as the manufacture of CuInSe 2the precursor of active layer.Use CuInS 2nano particle replaces only using CuInSe 2the advantage of nano particle is, sulphur precursor is usually more cheap than their selenium homologue and easilier obtain.
The optimum band gap of theory for absorber material is about 1.3-1.4eV.By gallium is attached to CuInS 2in nano particle, CuIn after band gap makes selenizing can be controlled xga 1-xse 2absorber layer has the optimum band gap for solar absorption.
Usually, by the gas phase of costliness or evaporation technique (such as Metalorganic chemical vapor deposition, RF sputtering, flash distillation etc.) for curing copper indium (gallium) film is deposited to substrate.Although those technology can manufacture high-quality film, for the processing output of scale to extensive deposition and Geng Gao, they are difficulty and costliness.
Use copper indium chalcogenide and/or copper indium gallium sulphur to belong to one of major advantage of the nano particle of compound to be, by nanoparticle dispersion in media as well, thus ink that is similar to the ink in newspaper type technique, that can print on substrate can be formed.The such as spin coating of low cost printing technology, slot coated or scraper for coating can be used nanoparticle inks or stick with paste deposition.Printable solar cell can replace that manufacture the standard of solar cell, conventional vacuum-deposited method, because typography, particularly when at roller-when carrying out in-roller process framework, much bigger output can be made to become possibility.
Utilized comprise hot injection method, the various synthetic methods of solvent heat technology and suitable precursor thermal decomposition have prepared ternary CuInS 2the nano particle of system.Colloidal nanoparticles synthesis uses high temperature (higher than 250 DEG C) to form little (<20nm), the nano particle of organic substance end-blocking usually.Like this, colloidal nanoparticles demonstrates the fusing point lower than block materials.Such nano particle has narrow fusion temperature scope usually, because nano particle is highly monodispersed (namely the diameter of nano particle is in narrow size distribution).Rare about CuInGaS 2and CuGaS 2the open source literature of the synthesis of nano particle, because most of open source literature pays close attention to ternary compound CuInS 2.
U.S. Patent application US2011/0039104A1 (' 104 application) from Bayer describes, for colloid synthesis CuInS 2the method of nano particle: use the reaction temperature between 240-270 DEG C with mantoquita, indium salt and alkanethiol in non-polar organic solvent.The method described in ' 104 applications does not prove to synthesize CuIn xga 1-xs 2the controllability of nano particle and can not prove that the selection adjusting original metal ratio and reagent can in order to obtain the stoichiometry expected.In addition, need higher boiling point mercaptan to use the reaction temperature described in ' 104 applications.
In another example, Kino etc. report by by Cu (OAc) 2with n (OAc) 3mix at 230 DEG C with 1-dodecyl mercaptans and tri-n-octyl amine and synthesize CuInS 2the method [T.Kino etc., Mater.Trans., 2008,49,435] of nano particle.Tri-n-octyl amine is height ligand solvent (having the boiling point of 365-367 DEG C), and the nano particle therefore likely using the method synthesis of Kito etc. is at least part of amine end-blocking.If described particle is used for photovoltaic device, this is disadvantageous, because need high processing temperature to remove amine from the film manufactured by nano particle.
Hot injection approach is usually by high temperature being formed by the solution that sulphur is injected into copper and indium salt at the solution of suitable solvent such as tri octyl phosphine (TOP) or oleyl amine (OLA).The CuInS of Zn doping has been manufactured at temperature by this method between 160-280 DEG C 2nano particle [H.Nakamura etc., Chem.Mater., 2006,18,3330].The shortcoming of hot injection technique is difficult to control reaction temperature on a large scale, so reaction is usually limited in milligram level and usually needs large reaction volume.
Single derived precursor (SSP) method for nano particle synthesis uses containing all single compounds of constitution element that will be added in nano particle.Under pyrolysis, SSP decomposes the formation causing nano particle.There is a large amount of list of references to describe and synthesize CuInS by SSP 2nano particle.By using (PR 3) 2cu (SR) 2in (SR) 2type precursor manufactures CuInS 2nano particle, wherein R is alkyl.Castro etc. are by the Liquid precursor (PPh in dioctyl phthalate 3) 2cuIn (SEt) 4decompose between 200-300 DEG C with the chalcopyrite CuInS of production size between 3-30nm 2nano particle [S.L.Castro etc., Chem.Mater., 2003,15,3142].Although their size is little, nano particle is insoluble in organic solvent because it forms the trend of large 500nm aggregation.
Dutta and Sharma makes the sulfonate precursor I n (S in spent glycol 2cOEt) 3with Cu (S 2cOEt) the cubic CuInS of the aggregation once in a while of average-size 3-4nm is obtained at 196 DEG C 2[D.P.Dutta and G.Sharma, Mater.Lett., 2006,60,2395].Because employ non-cooperation solvent, the CuInS manufactured by these SSP 2nano particle shows the dissolubility of non-constant and forms the tendency of micron order aggregation.SSP method is more complicated than additive method, because they need the step of extra synthesis precursor.
Additive method comprises makes slaine and sulphur source react.Choi etc. decompose copper by the dodecyl mercaptans be used at the temperature between 230-250 DEG C in OLA and indium metal oleate complex prepares Cu-In-S nano particle [S-H.Choi etc., J.Am.Chem.Soc., 2006,128,2520].In this process, synthesize before reacting with alkanethiol, be separated and purified metal oleate.Particle is sizable, and by change reaction time and temperature, shape of particle is adjusted to rubber fruit shape, doleiform and worm shape rod, length is between 50-100nm.But XRD analysis display nano particle is by the Cu of six harrisite structures 2the In of S and tetragonal 2s 3mixture composition instead of CuInS 2.Reaction in the toluene that Carmalt etc. are refluxed by metal chloride and vulcanized sodium at 110 DEG C manufactures micron-sized CuInS 2particle, but this material has very limited solubility [C.J.Carmalt etc., J.Mater.Chem., 1998,8,2209].
Using Study of way that solvent-thermal method synthesizes as nano particle.But domain size distribution is usually comparatively large and due to the formation nano particle normally indissoluble of aggregation.By mixed C uSO under the existence of TGA in autoclave 4, InCl 3micron order CuInS is prepared with thioacetamide 2particle [X.Guo etc., J.Am.Chem.Soc., 2006,128,7222].Lu etc. react to prepare cubic CuInS by making CuCl and metal In and sulphur powder in autoclave in a series of solvents comprising toluene, benzene and water at 200 DEG C 2nano particle [Q.Lu etc., Inorg.Chem., 2000,39,1606].Particle has the size between 5-15nm, but forms large aggregation and be insoluble.Toluene, benzene and water are used as reaction medium.TEM image demonstrates the control of the difference to domain size distribution, and domain size distribution changes according to reaction medium.In addition, Hu etc. report and use CuCl, GaCl 3with the CuGaS of thiocarbamide 2the solvent-thermal process [J.Q.Hu etc., SolidStateCommun., 2002,121,493] of nano particle.
Zhong etc. report CuGaS 2the synthesis [J.Zhong etc., Appl.Surf.Sci., 2011,257,10188] that the biomolecule of nano particle is auxiliary.By CuCl 2.2H 2o, GaCl 3with Cys (C 6h 12n 2o 4s 2) be dissolved in ethylenediamine and water, then at room temperature stir 20 minutes.In 10 hours, solution is heated to 200 DEG C in autoclave.Tem analysis shows the large nano particle of the average diameter with 600nm.
Although provide the synthetic method of level Four and more senior nano particle to there is sizable interest to exploitation, in prior art, only there is a few CuInS 2and/or CuGaS 2synthesis methods for nanoparticles is proved to be and is suitable for being provided in the CuIn across 0≤x≤1 scope xga 1-xs nano particle.Wang etc. describe the buergerite CuIn in scope 0≤x≤1 xga 1-xs 2colloid synthesis [Y-H.A.Wang etc., J.Am.Chem.Soc., 2011,133,11072] of nano particle.At room temperature by Cu (acac) 2, In (acac) 3, Ga (acac) 3stir in OLA with trioctyl phosphine oxide (TOPO) and use purging with nitrogen gas 30 minutes.Solution is heated to 150 DEG C, then 1-dodecyl mercaptans (DDT) and uncle-DDT is injected in solution fast, then it was heated to 280-290 DEG C in 30 minutes, then keep 30 minutes.Then hexane and ethanol is used to pass through centrifugation solution cool to room temperature.By replacing OLA with 1-vaccenic acid (ODE), nanoparticle morphology can be become tadpole shape from bullet shaped.Also the change of form can be observed when changing In:Ga ratio.Author claims that buergerite provides the stoichiometric flexibility controlling material mutually.
Although the method for the general introduction such as Wang may be used for synthesizing the CuIn across whole 0≤x≤1 scope xga 1-xs 2nano particle, but the following higher boiling point part end-blocking of nano particle: OLA (348-350 DEG C), TOPO (201-202 DEG C under 2mmHg, it is equivalent to 397-399 DEG C under atmospheric pressure), 1-DDT (266-283 DEG C) and/or uncle-DDT (227-248 DEG C).Thus need high-temperature service manufacturing technology to be removed by part from gained film.In addition, use the method for Wang etc., obtain CuInS 2rare buergerite phase.By contrast, current solar cell uses chalcopyrite as absorbent.

Synthetic method described in the prior manufactures to have usually assembles tendency and the large nano particle be insoluble in most of solvent.This is important problem, because expect to manufacture little and solvable nano particle, it can be further processed with formulate ink, thus is such as printed by the conventional and technology of low cost or sprayed to manufacture inoranic membrane.Capping ligand such as hydrocarbon can be connected to contribute to processability with the surface of nano particle.But building-up process described above is at high temperature carried out, the selectional restriction of capping ligand is those parts with relative high evaporation/decomposition temperature by this.Because be difficult to remove part during film sintering, the existence of this type of low volatility capping ligand makes the use of the nano particle for the preparation of photovoltaic film complicated.The existence of the part be removed in film causes carbon back impurity, the performance of its negative effect film.
Since it is known method can not manufacture little and have low melting point, narrow size distribution nano particle and introduce and can give the volatility part of dissolubility and processability, these methods are not be very suitable for manufacturing the nano particle meeting conventional low cost film printing technology.In addition, verified seldom have method successfully can synthesize CuIn across whole 0≤x≤1 scope xga 1-xs 2nano particle.Object of the present disclosure addresses these problems.
General introduction
Method of the present invention produces the little CuInS with narrow size distribution 2and CuIn xga 1-xs 2nano particle (have diameter be low to moderate about 2.5nm and usually at about 2.5nm to the size within the scope of about 10nm).Can with volatility alkanethiol end-blocking nano particle and nano particle is solvable in a series of solvent.Can by nanoparticle dispersion in solvent such as toluene with formulate ink, can use that conventional low cost printing technology is such as sprayed, scraper for coating, rod painting, ink jet printing etc. by described deposit of ink to form CuInS 2or CuIn xga 1-xs 2film.
Use the nano particle of disclosed method manufacture usually to have lower fusing point compared with block materials and packaging is tightr, this contribute to melting during coalescent (coalescence) of particle, the film quality be improved.This allows lower processing temperature, makes to use flexible base, board (such as paper and plastics) to become possibility as the parts in PV battery.Because fusing point can along with change of size, the nano particle with narrow distribution of sizes will be similar to melting at that same temperature, manufacture high-quality film.
That it can by mild heat easily and remove from nano particle at an easy rate by the obvious advantage using low boiling alkanethiol to provide.This is important because from after the process of curing in film the carbon impurity of remaining part residue may cause the deterioration of solar cell properties.Another advantage is the effect that alkanethiol plays sulphur source and ligand thereof, this simplify synthesis.

Describe in detail
Disclosed in be method for the manufacture of the nano particle comprising the 11st race's ion [Cu, Ag or Au] and the 13rd race's ion [B, Al, Ga, In or Tl] and S ion.Preferred embodiment manufacture has formula CuIn xga 1-xs 2nano particle, wherein 0≤x≤1.As used in this article, formula CuInS 2refer to the material comprising Cu, In and S.Be understood that described formula must not represent that the ratio of Cu:In:S is strict 1:1:2.Equally, formula Cu (In, Ga) S 2refer to the material comprising Cu, In, Ga and S, but and the ratio of non-required Cu:In:Ga:S is strict 1:1:1:2.Term " CIGS " is in this article for limiting any material containing Cu and S and/or In and/or Ga.
Can be low to moderate at the temperature of less than 200 DEG C by the 11st race and the 13rd race's ion source and alkanethiol being reacted in organic solvent and pass through to apply heat to promote reaction and formed as nano particle disclosed in this article.11st race and the 13rd race's ion source normally slaine, the acetate of such as required metal ion or halogen.Can represent mercaptan compound with formula R-SH, wherein R replaces or unsubstituted organic group (namely one or more hydrogen atom be combined with carbon atom can be replaced by non-hydrogen atom).Organic group can be saturated or unsaturated.Organic group is preferably straight chain, side chain or cyclic organic group, and it can be carboxyl or heterocyclic radical.
Organic group is preferably alkyl, thiazolinyl, alkynyl and/or aryl.Organic group can be alkyl, the alkenyl or alkynyl of containing 2 to 20 carbon atoms, more preferably 4 to 14 carbon atoms and most preferably less than 10 carbon atoms.
Mercaptan plays two kinds of effects in synthesis.The first, they are sulphur sources of nano particle.The second, mercaptan plays surface conjunction part.Mercaptan is attached to the surface of nano particle, forms the ligand layer on surface.Ligand layer is almost special to be formed by mercaptan.In other words, a certain amount of solvent molecule can adhere to ligand layer or insert described layer, but most of ligand layer can be formed by mercaptan part.It is also to be understood that term " layer " non-required ligand layer are complete individual layers or are limited to an individual layer.Compared to independent individual layer, more or less thiol molecule may reside in nanoparticle surface.
It should be understood that disclosed method is that disclosed method operates at lower temperatures at present relative to the advantage of the method described in above background parts at present.Usually, the S source used in the synthesis of CIGS needs to be greater than the temperature of 200 DEG C to react.But disclosed method allows more lower boiling alkanethiol to be used as end-capping reagent between synthesis phase.
